# Zapier

**[Zapier](http://zapier.com)** is an app that connects different tools for automated notifications and transferring of data. Consider this method for transferring contributions and supporter data from your campaigns to outside CRMs like Salesforce**or trigger notifications to separate emails when an action on your campaign takes place - such as registration onto a campaign or a new contribution.**

**Please note - you can only export data FROM our platforms, not TO the platform from outside software (i.e. ConnectionPoint provides only Triggers, no Actions).**

### **Why is this helpful?**

Use [Zapier](http://zapier.com) to create triggers notifying you of certain events from your campaigns (for example, to your email). These are called 'Zaps.' Available triggers are:

- New Campaign
- New Contact
- New Fundraiser
- New Payment
- New Receipt
- Updated Campaign
- Updated Payment
- Updated Receipt

### **How to set up Zaps**

**STEP 1 - You will need a Zapier account. Visit**[**https://zapier.com/**](https://zapier.com/) **to sign in and register an account.**

For basic automation, there is a free plan. However, for more regular automation, you'll likely want to look at one of the paid plans.

**STEP 2 - Click 'Create Zap' on your Zapier account.**

**STEP 3 - Create your trigger and action.**

Search ConnectionPoint in Triggers for the trigger you like, and then choose what action you'd like. ConnectionPoint does not provide Actions, only Triggers (so one-way only).

**This capability is still in the testing stages - if you are interested in this feature, please [contact our support team.](mailto:support@connectionpoint.com)**
